Chattanooga Support
Amani Chattanooga is a self-sustaining operation with the mission to support the global Amani family as well as reach out to her neighbors. This location seeks to replicate the culture of the Amani Africa centers through hospitality, holistic outreach, and working together in peace and unity.
Volunteer
To keep costs down Chattanooga relies on essential staff only to manage operations. Regular, committed volunteers give of their time to assist in the Amani US Warehouse. New volunteers or interns who would like to support Amani’s work by sharing their time and skills are always welcomed.
Groups of volunteers also make renovation projects and special events possible. To find out about volunteering contact Amani Chattanooga directly by:

Building Renovations
Renovations are needed in order to maintain beautiful facilities for the ladies of Amani ya Juu. Your donation can have an impact in dozens of ways, from patching a roof in Uganda to building new shelving units at the US warehouse to repainting walls at our Kenya center. A polished, functional, and beautiful center in each of our locations contributes to the dignity of the incredible women who make up our organization. Become a partner in the process of reconciliation by donating today!
Donate here
Thanks to each of you who already invested or pledged commitment. It isn’t too late to invest in our 30th Anniversary Growth Fund!
Building on our strong foundation, the Growth Fund will take the cap off our growth, extending tangible peace exponentially to artisans and customers—without compromising quality or mission.
Your gift will enable us to:
1. Grow Our Business
We plan to triple our sales in the next five years. To do that, we need to hire staff, upgrade and preserve our building, and strengthen the systems required to scale our business. This investment will support meaningful jobs, deepen our holistic impact, steward a sustainable organization, and build communities of peace.
2. Deepen Our Impact
Our growth will provide work for 100 additional stitchers and artisans, each deeply embraced by community and the love of Christ. We'll continue to scale our work as a social enterprise hub here in Chattanooga with a retail space for local artisans and other mission-driven enterprises.
3. Build Our Community
Each location of Amani—Nairobi, Kenya; Gulu, Uganda; and Chattanooga, United States—is building a community rooted in the peace of Christ. Our contexts and specific work may vary, but our commitment to peace, beauty, stewardship, and hospitality is constant.
Your investment of time, talent and resources over the years has sustained us and will take us to the next season of growth. In gratitude and celebration, The Amani Team
